Baartman was a South Africa slave who died at the age of 25 after being sold to a Scottish doctor in 1800s. The doctor was responsible for placing her on a London show because of the shape of her body.
Her stage name was Hottenot Venus. She went to court after it was argued that she had been made to perform against her will by her master, but eventually claimed she performed on her own free will.
Meanwhile, The Sun reported that Beyonce who still feels her breakthrough role in the Hollywood movie industry is yet to come, will star in the film.
